Lucky 415 Marketing and Promotions has been providing brand ambassadors for demonstrative marketing campaigns since 2002. We have had the pleasure of representing multiple clients over the past 16 years and consistently do our best to make sure each of them is satisfied to the fullest extent.

We offer a variety of experiential marketing services including, but not limited to:

Deciding how and when to take action on your experiential marketing idea can be the most difficult part of initiating a campaign. So many questions come to mind during your initial planning stages. Some of the most frequent concerns can send you spinning into a critical case of ‘analysis paralysis’,

Location. Where do you start? Which area will be right for your product
and brand, and most importantly: Your target market.

How can you (really) make a deep connection with your customers?

How do you make an impact and gain the attention of your target customers?

What is the best concept for your execution? Flyers? Swag? Contests?

Where can you find the perfect brand ambassadors for your product? (So important!)

With press releases of grand openings, beer samples of your top brews, glassware of the brewery, brewery tours, swag, and lessons on the market of craft brews, getting people the knowledge of your brewery is work in itself. Getting all of this completed and still getting time to brew the beer is a whole other subject, so how do you get it all completed fast enough to make your product relevant?

Well, getting the correct marketing completed when your brewery opens OR when you create a new brew is key to launching your products and creating a name for yourself in your marketplace. Did you know there are over 4,100 craft breweries in the U.S.A currently? What will you do to separate yourself from all of those other brands?

Anheuser-Busch Method-You can use the Anheuser-Busch/ InBev NV Anheuser-Busch InBev NV BUD, -0.59% Strategy. Anheuser has bought brewers like Elysian, Goose Island, Breckenridge, Blue Point, Four Peaks, etc for their brew stock (different brews offered within each brand), relativity within their own market space, The known “Name” within their individual markets, and their quality of products. If you can stay relevant within your market and can stay up to par with brands like these, then you are on your way to success.

Marketing Strategy-So do you create loads of swag to give away? NO. The best way to create more sales for your product and to create a true name for your brand is to SAMPLE your products to the masses! Even if you don’t get a ton of sales every time, The consumer will learn your products and remember the time they went to the liquor store and got to try your brew, or went to the festival and tried your products. You can give away some bottle openers or a glass WHEN product is purchased and that will help boost sales, however SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE and you will see your sales grow in your market.

We here at Lucky415 are staffed with an In-house Beer and Liquor expert. We not only provide support and training for each event, but our team behind the scenes is constantly training on new brands (Major brands with Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors and smaller Craft brands as well) in both Beer and in Liquor each month, so as new brews, wines, and liquors come out, our team is on top of it.

Are you looking for promotional reps to work your events at Comic Con, but your not sure how to pick a agency or if you should book the events your self. One of the first things you should ask yourself is do you have the time to find, interview, screen, handle all the legal and tax paper work for each ambassador you book to work. Booking your own teams is extremely time consuming and the paper work can be endless. So your best bet is to use an agency to find your event teams. Why? Because event staffing agency’s book teams 365 days a year. That is what they do each day every day. So they know the ends and outs of finding and booking the best event staff for your event. Now how do you choose an event-staffing agency? Well there are a few ways to go about this. First has the agency been around awhile and do they have a lot of experience. Second do they have good reviews from brand ambassadors online? Third do they use a massive data base and send out emails and that is all or do they use a data base and also phone screen each ambassador that works the event. This is a very important question. Many agencies take on as many contracts as possible and just send out emails and who ever shows up shows up. This is not a great way to receive top not ambassadors. The best way is to find an agency that screens each ambassador. Another great reason to use an agency is because all you have to do is write one check not hundreds of checks. Also when choosing an agency be sure to ask them how long they take to pay the ambassadors. Many agencies take months and will have the ambassadors call you or worse your client about payment. However some agencies actually pay the ambassadors in 2 weeks. This way they ambassadors know when they are getting paid and can relax and give your event 120%.

So you have seen the cars and trucks riding around town with a wrapped logo of some sort. Often these autos are filled with loads of samples and it the job of the promotional teams in the cars to go from location to location, giving out free items to help promote the product. For instance, think of Red Bull.. Their teams ride around in little cars giving out samples to people that look thirsty or tired. A brilliant idea! Do you have a product that you would like to get into the consumers hands? If so, have you ever thought of trying this out for your product? Charleston, SC is a great place to do such a type of an event. One of the main reason for this the ports that are located in Charleston. Hundreds of cruise ships fill the dock each year, bringing millions of happy tourists. These tourists are confined to a small area. Since the historical area is a very small place, they are pretty cramped into the city. . IN addition to the city goers and shoppers, there is usually a 2-3 hr wait to drive about 5 miles to get to the beach. .Charleston was ranked the number one place to get married recently. So, If you are looking for a new area to do sampling events, Charleston is the place. Charleston offers a great opportunity for sunblock companies giving out samples, drink or beverage companies to give out samples (because it gets hot), Fishing and kayak companies, or even fishing lure companies. Charleston is a fishing mecca! The ideas and products are endless! If you need help with auto promotions feel free to send us a email. We would love to help!
